Chapter 98 Ancient Trigrams(1/2)
I asked, and Xiaohong didn't hide anything and told me a story from the past.
This past event is inextricably related to the First Emperor.
There are records of fusang in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Eastern Classics" and "Huainanzi: Tian Wen Xun". The place where the sun rises is called Tanggu, where there is the vast sea and the fusang trees that lead directly to the heaven. Before the ten suns rise, first
After bathing in the blue sea, nine suns will be above the hibiscus and one sun will be under the hibiscus, wiping away the traces of water, and then the light will shine brightly, bringing a fresh and beautiful morning to the world.
It can be said that the sacred fuso tree is a sacred object closely related to the sun, the source of all things, and there have been rumors since ancient times that people who open the door to heaven on the fuso sacred tree can gain eternal life.
When Chi You fought against the Yellow Emperor, Chi You was defeated and retreated to southern Yunnan. He also brought the fusang sacred tree to southern Yunnan, where it was guarded by the local Miao people. Later, it was moved to Bashu.
When the First Emperor Yingzheng unified the six kingdoms, he heard about this. The First Emperor, who was fascinated by the method of immortality, sent the general Zhang Han to destroy Bashu and robbed the Fusang sacred tree.
The warlock Xu Fu looked through ancient books and found out about the method of worshiping the Fusang sacred tree. He needed to gather eight Yin commanders and use the blood of these eight people to sacrifice, so as to open the gate of heaven and gain eternal life.
But these eight people were born with unique and different personalities and were extremely difficult to find. At that time, the undercurrents of the Six Kingdoms were surging, and they had great opinions on Xu Fu who was around the First Emperor. Considering the impact, the First Emperor did not dare to look for these eight people in the country, but
He handed over the search for the Yin Commander of the Eight Divisions to Meng Tian, who was guarding the border, and asked him to search secretly among the border troops. Naturally, Meng Tian learned about the Fuso Sacred Tree.
Unfortunately, the matter did not come to a conclusion. The First Emperor died during his eastern tour. Zhao Gaolisi tampered with the edict and ordered Prince Fusu and General Mengtian to commit suicide.
After Fusu and Mengtian committed suicide, Zhao Gao and Li Si only focused on stabilizing the court. In addition, they did not believe in immortality, so the Fuso sacred tree fell into the hands of Mengtian's descendants.
When I heard this, I felt like I was listening to a fairy tale. But what I saw in front of me showed one thing. These fairy tales all really happened.
Fuso is known as the sacred tree of the East. Even if there is no real immortality, it should still contain some magical power. The reason why Mentuo and the Golden Fire Cavalry appear now is probably due to that power.
Now there are only two people present, Xiaohong and I, and the fortune teller also talks about Gu Lingxiao calmly: "My grandfather once made a deduction, and the Fuso tree will appear in this direction. That's why I am here!"
The divine fortune teller is already an iron-mouthed judge. His grandfather Gu Lingxiao's ability may be able to deduce some secrets.
Xiao Hong said: "I'm afraid it's not only your grandfather who figured it out, but you're not the only one who came here because of this!"
The divine fortune teller had an enchanted trust in his grandfather. Hearing this, he still shook his head and said: "When it comes to divine objects, it is no longer as simple as insight into the secrets of the heavens. It involves many things from ancient times to the present. No one can deduce them except my grandfather!"
Xiao Hong heard this and said: "Your Gu family is just proficient in numerology. If you want to deduce the secrets of heaven, you need people from the Tianji sect."
"Tianjimen?" Shen Shuanzi's expression changed: "Didn't Tianjimen be eradicated hundreds of years ago?"
After the fortune teller finished asking, he said to himself without waiting for Xiao Hong's answer: "Eradicating the roots is just a rumor. In such a large sect, there will always be one or two fish that slip through the net. What's more, it's the Tianji Sect, even if it's the source of trouble.
There is no way to avoid it, they will also make arrangements in advance!”
After listening to this, I felt very heavy. I couldn’t figure out how the fuso tree had anything to do with our family.
After the divine fortune teller finished talking to himself, he suddenly made a sound and said strangely: "It stands to reason that Mengtuo already has eight ghost generals, and the Fuso sacred tree is also in their hands. He does not hide from immortality, but even runs out to do it."
What?"
Xiaohong said: "The whereabouts of the Fuso sacred tree are unknown. He should be looking for the sacred tree. Moreover, there was obviously something wrong with the sacrifices they made back then. Although they have a long life, they also suffered some unexplainable things."
When Xiaohong talked about the Golden Fire Cavalry, I mentioned their weaknesses by the way. I believe that Mengtuo, like his Yin Shuai, cannot withstand beheading, and the flesh on his body is made of Yin soil. As long as he keeps giving
He deals damage, and over time he becomes weaker.
I don’t know if Xiaohong knew about this characteristic of the Golden Fire Cavalry, but she looked at me gratefully. When she looked at me, I was a little shy and at a loss: "Xiaohong, Shangguan Qingqian can protect
Will you stay with my mother?"
When she talked to Guan Qingqian before, she had already changed her story, and now I should change my story too. After hearing this, Xiaohong comforted me and said: "She can handle people from the Yinsha family. Don't forget, she is from the Shangguan family.
A proud man of heaven, there is no way a person like this has no one around to look after him!"
I was a little speechless after hearing this. The status of a young lady from a wealthy family is different, and she is secretly followed by bodyguards. However, after getting along with Shangguan Qingqian, I didn't seem to feel that anyone was following her.
But Xiaohong said it, so there must be.
In this way, I feel relieved. If I can't defeat her, her bodyguards can still buy time to go to Guhun Mountain. Once there, with Wu Qi there, the problem won't be big.
I had breakfast relatively late, and I didn't make lunch. It was around seven o'clock in the evening when Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng came back. Only then did the fortune teller hear Chen Ou's voice and ran under the eaves. He fell down with a rosy face.
It immediately turned sallow and the eye sockets became sunken.
I frowned slightly. His ability to control the body seemed to be a form of disguise, and he could directly change the structure of his face without the help of drugs or makeup. It was very miraculous.
As soon as the fortune teller lay down, Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng opened the door and came in, followed by the young master in white and others, but Xu You was missing. I pierced his leg with a sword. Although his muscles and bones were not injured, the muscle was pierced. They
Even though the sect's elixirs are powerful, it's impossible for him to recover in a short time.
I didn't know the rest of the people. I knew them or were familiar with them. Almost all of them died by the Longshou Mountain Pond.
To be honest, fortunately, it was just a chance encounter, so I didn't feel too upset. If someone close to me had died, I would definitely not be so calm.
As soon as the young man in white entered the door, he said: "Lin Chu, please tell me the specific matters so that I can make arrangements!"
Leaders are used to it, so they start it as soon as they enter the door?
If Xiaohong doesn't go, it doesn't matter. I can follow her. But if Xiaohong goes, it's his turn to have the young man in white to point his fingers at her?
I snorted and said, "It's not your turn to make arrangements here!"
"What do you mean?" The young man in white was stunned, then he looked at me and asked the people around him with a smile: "Do you want us to listen to you, a little kid?"
Before I could say anything, his face darkened and he said coldly: "You don't even look at how much you weigh!"
Xiaohong also stood up at this time. The young man in white seemed to have just realized it now. He hurriedly put on a smile, bowed to Xiaohong and said: "I didn't know Miss Bai was here, please forgive me for any offense.
If I, junior, say something wrong, I hope senior will correct me."
The young man in white has a humble attitude and can't find fault in his words. Moreover, he calls himself a junior. Even if Xiaohong wants to speak for me, it's hard to speak for me.
When Xiaohong heard this, she snorted and turned back to me and said, "You handle it and call me when you leave!" After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs.
I suddenly didn’t know what to do. Seeing the aggressive attitude of Mr. Bai, Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng came over and whispered: “Don’t listen to this grandson. He didn’t call him senior Bai Qingcheng just now. In this case, you are also his senior.
, use this to suppress him, and take the lead yourself."
Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng encouraged me, which made me a little bit enthusiastic, but just when I was about to do what they said, my brows wrinkled.
Xiaohong said that tonight might be Mengtuo's trap. I think what she said is probably true. If this is true, no matter whether we gain the upper hand in the end or not, people will definitely die.
If I arrange this kind of thing, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will be wrong in the end. Instead, let the young man in white arrange it, so in the end I will not be blamed.
As for the traitorous minister's behavior, the young man in white has not been able to use it on me. If he wants me to die, I can refuse. With Xiaohong here, he dare not say anything.
Thinking of this, my words changed, and I told the whole story, and then reminded them three times that tonight was probably a trap, so that those who wanted to go had to think about it themselves.
After I finished speaking, I added: "I have said everything I know, and everyone understands it. If you don't understand something, you can still ask now!"
The surroundings were quiet for a while. After all, I had finished talking about this, and I still didn’t understand that there was something wrong with my head.
Seeing that no one asked questions, I said: "In that case, let the young man in white arrange the following matters!"
When Chen Ou heard this, he pulled me and turned his back and said, "What's wrong with you kid? You still have to listen to him for this kind of thing? What if there really is something and he swallows it all for himself?"
"Follow Xiaohong, do you think any of them has the ability to take it all for themselves? And there is no need to shoulder such a thankless task on yourself!"
It’s not that Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng didn’t understand the truth. They had just been suppressed for too long, bullied every day, and rarely had a chance to talk, so they were a little bit over the top. I explained briefly, and they understood and no longer competed for this position.
When the young man in white heard this, he looked away from me, coughed twice, and said to the people behind him: "Everyone knows the danger. In fact, there is nothing worth discussing or arranging. It's just an ambush. Don't hide your head or tail when the time comes.
Just show your abilities."
I thought he was going to make some elaborate arrangement, but it turned out that he had the same idea as me and there was nothing to arrange. After a few words, the young man in white also knew Meng Tuo's weakness, so he said it in front of everyone, and asked everyone to fight.
Pay attention to the method.
In addition to the more than 30 people from the Taoist sect who came with the young master in white, more than 30 people came later. Unlike those who came in front, half of the people who came in the back were middle-aged, and their strength was estimated to be around the Yin-Yang realm.
After the young man in white expressed his position, everyone started discussing in a buzzing manner. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when the young man in white stopped and said with a full voice: "Since everyone acts in unity, after we get the thing, no matter what is in the file,
As long as no one else participates, they are eligible to share."
When I heard this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, so I didn't have to conflict with them.
Sixty or seventy people gathered here, and the courtyard was very lively. Except for the important figures like the young master in white, plus Chen Ou and our hosts, the rest of the people were standing, and it was crowded.
If my mother saw it, I don't know what her expression would be.
At ten o'clock, the young master in white remembered the fortune teller. Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng immediately acted as vanguards and carried the half-dead fortune teller up.
The divine fortune teller slumped on the stool like mud, and said feebly: "Sir, Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng gave me croton today, and they have been doing it all day. Now I want to deduce it, but I am afraid I am weak!"
When Chen Ou heard this, he immediately gave the fortune teller a thumbs up and said: "Don't pretend to be dead for me, get up quickly!"
I was also a little speechless, and I had the urge to expose him, but I resisted.
After hearing this, the young man in white said angrily to Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng: "It's just nonsense. You know that he will be of great use today, but you still have such disregard for the overall situation!"
Zhang Mengmeng and Chen Ou had just avenged their great revenge. They had not been happy for a day, but now they were scolded, and their faces drooped. The two of them forcibly helped the fortune teller up and said: "Stop pretending, kid, hurry up and deduce it for me."
."
The fortune teller collapsed in the hands of the two men and said feebly: "Master, I can force the deduction now, but if something goes wrong due to lack of physical strength, the change of position will be huge. It will not be a mistake by then.
!”
The young man in white snorted coldly and took out an elixir from his pocket. The elixir was all white, like milk candy, exuding a refreshing fragrance, and under the light, it had a crystal clear luster.
When the fortune teller saw this, his whole body became full of strength. He pushed Chen Ou and Zhang Mengmeng away and reached out to grab the elixir. However, at the last moment, I snatched it from the young man in white before he could speak.
He said: "I'm afraid it's not possible to simply take elixirs for his disease. I have a way to use elixirs to help him get back to normal in an instant."
When the young man in white heard this, he snorted and said, "You'd better not play any tricks."
